The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ has for long been hindered and suffered setbacks.

For Satan has devised the wisdom of frustrating the gospel work by hindering wives of true ministers of God, with divine call and ministry from cooperating with their husbands. The devil gives them a different thought, reasoning and approach to the work of the ministry and as a result, the two (being divided), are no more one.

There is lack of support from the women to the ministry of the husband and in that way, the gospel work has been weakened.

God would want us to have a good understanding of this because several ministry work got lost when people began to go into ministry without taking into consideration the standard of righteousness involved in carrying out God’s work.

Several have entered into the ministry without this complete formation; unity in their homes. Many are into ministry and they do not have the support of their wives, and from the understanding of Biblical principles, in order for a ministry to be effective, the family of the preacher has an important role to play.

The wife of the preacher has her role to play, however, we find that this is lacking these days. Some husbands have dropped out of ministry, while some ran away from their homes because of their wives.

They just disappeared! Many are still in the ministry, but not in the Lord because the righteousness of God is no longer in their lives. Why? Many of these ministers of God have gotten married to second wives.

The statistics of pastors* that are with second wives now is surprisingly increasing, and despite their sinful condition, these men are still involved in the work of the Lord. Due to the sins in their lives, their work in the Lord’s vineyard has no more value, importance or any eternal reward because the righteousness of God is no more with them

Thought For The Day:
Husband and wife cooperate in ministry to advance the gospel.

Song For The Day:
Bind us together Lord, bind us together with cord that cannot be broken
